On a cool evening in may

Lyrics

One refreshingly cool evening in May
I took my horse and I went for a ride
On the path where my Mother, so gracious
And smiling, would stroll with me side by side
I saw that she picked a beautiful rose
I saw that she picked a pretty carnation
Dearest mother I pleaded for those
Please give me this rose and
Please give me this Carnation
To which she replied, abruptly but kind
You may have them both in good time
If you’ll swear to me that always I’ll find
A son that is nice, loving and kind
To which she replied, abruptly but kind
You may have them both in good time
If you’ll swear to me that always I’ll find
A son that is nice, loving and kind
One refreshingly cool evening in May
I to-ok my horse and I went for a ride
On the path where my Mother, so gracious
And smiling, would stroll with me side by side
